As spring gets underway, live plants abound both indoors and out. A neat
way to plant some green in the kitchen is with a baking tool: a muffin
tin!The wells in a muffin tin are the perfect size for holding small
live plants directly from the nursery flat. Choose a moss as shown or
even plant herbs in an old tin and keep it in your kitchen. Water the
plants by misting. If you're using a muffin tin long-term for small
plants, repurpose and old tin and consider punching holes in the bottom
of each well.

This is a portable greenhouse, good to start
seeds or small vegetables (basil, parsley, salad, cilantro...). it's
really fast and easy to built, and super economic and ecologic, I made
mine all out of scraps and in little more than an hour.Materials :

Stuff you needCotton spools, wooden would look betterApprox 1 1/2 – 2 yards fishing wirePermanent markers (I used a silver paint pen and a sharpie)Scraps of yarn or fabricGlue (hot glue gun was weapon of choice for me)Note on the spools – mine have 1/4″ hole which fits up to a US size 10 needle. This was adequate for me, but if you require ones for larger sizes you can drill or use a needle file to enlarge the opening, or look for a larger diameter spool.What to do with itFirst, label all your spools with the appropriate needle size. For my end spools I wound a piece of scrap yarn around the spool and secured it with a dot of glue. A piece of fabric cut to size would also look nice. You could obviously embellish these however you like. I went with simplicity (also known as “easy”). Next cut a length of wire about 1 1/2 – 2 yards long, I just kinda eyeballed it. Thread wire though first spool and hold in half so both lengths of wire are equal. Following the diagram below, weave the wire in and out of each spool.

Then, once the last spool is wired on, twist the remaining two wire lengths around each other and fold into a hook shape. Trim ends and load up with all those unruly needles.

BEST COURSE EVER and it teaches you how to live on less and live well. I did a one day cheese
making workshop with Lyndall Dykes and I have to say it would have the
be the best course I have ever done and in my many years on this earth I
have done a few lol

There
are a couple of reasons I did Lyndalls cheese making course, and they
are the price as it was under $200 for the day and it was a ONE DAY
WORKSHOP not a two day workshop. I have found that two day workshops are
exhausting so I try and avoid them.
I have made three lots of cheese since I arrived home and love it,
plus I am amazed at how easy it is to remember what I was shown and
honestly the notes we are given are kind of idiot proof lol. I would
recommend this workshop to anyone and would love to know if anyone has
done a cheese making course and what you think of what you learned.

Sooo good. cut the watermelon into a cylinder (cutting ioff each end) . whip up a chilled can of coconut cream (set aside the water first) with 3 tablespoons of sugar. Spread the coconut cream over the watermelon sides and then into add some toasted coconut or almonds. . Cover top with remaining cream and top it all off with your choice of fruit (I used Banana and pineapple.
